Wrath's Marans

[wrathsfarm]

Taken from google, it claims to be a Wheaton Maran, but it looks like a copper/black copper to me.

This is a better example to show the difference.
The lighter hackles is a Wheaton trait. See the color in the wing tip (triangle)? Wheaton.


Kong.. Black wing

If you look at the pic you posted. It's difficult to see it but it's there.

Ok I’m going to ask a stupid question, when you say the color underneath, do you mean hidden in the gene? Or literally underneath the white feathering?

With Poppy, we don't know if he's hiding Black or Blue underneath because I haven't penned him with Solo yet to test mate.
Once I do, if all chicks hatch out Black...he's hiding Black.
If I get Blacks and Blue chicks, he's hiding Blue.

Oh I do see it! Very subtle details. Kong is so gorgeous!

There might be other details, I'm not too familiar with the Wheaton's. I have a hard enough time learning the Black Coppers.

Ok, so if I wanted Gomez the white Cochin, to have his white coloring would it even be possible?
His first son, looks like Fred a mix of black and red, goldy, his second son is completely barred, the mama is a legbar, and his daughter is a solid black fizzled bantam, her mother is an all white frizzled bantam. I wanted his white bantam Cochins, but he’s just giving me everything but. Is it possible his white gene is so recessive it’ll never come out in his off spring?

I know nothing about anything. I just look at a chicken and go oooo pretty, I want one!

Not really... Just sounds science-y.
1.Open Poppy's door
2. Throw Solo in
3. Wait for chicks

Solo goes to poppy? He doesn’t go to her?? How unchivalrous.

I have no idea... That's wayyyyy over my head. I would suggest posting a new thread asking that question.
